Season 3 of Orange is the New Black has been released on Netflix! As I was completely obsessed with seasons 1 and 2, I obviously binged on season 3 and have finished it already. This season was a bit different than the first two seasons. In season one, we really just met the characters and were introduced to Piper Chapman and how she got put into prison. She had to acclimate to her new surroundings and even found her former partner in crime Alex Vause while she was in there. Season two continued with the storyline, and we got to learn more about the background of other inmates as well. Seeing these “clips from the past” are great and help you understand the characters more in depth. There was a lot of violence in season two, especially surrounding the character Vee Parker. There were some of those “on the edge of your seat” scenes.
If season two was focused more on prison violence, then season three is the season of OITNB comedy. There was very little violence this go around, but A LOT of humor. My favorite group of ladies this time around were: Poussey, Black Cindy, Crazy Eyes, Taystee, Big Boo and Pennsatucky. They were just so funny! This season also gets more involved with back stories on characters like Soso, Vause, Black Cindy, Healy, Pennsatucky, Big Boo, Norma, Leanne and many more! I think every episode had a back story for someone.
This was also the season of entrepreneurship. Piper learns how to start a business even while being locked up. There is some relationship drama as well, and Crazy Eyes seems to become a popular author. Things in the kitchen went downhill after saving the prison from being closed down, and they now had to eat bagged food. Red found a way to get at least a few decent meals on the table for a few lucky inmates. And Norma is silent but very influential to her fellow inmates.
Overall, I thought this was a great season. Piper and Alex were a bit annoying to me, but the other women were hilarious. Definitely a must watch season. This show does not get old. Make sure to check out Orange is the New Black streaming on Netflix today! And a BIG thank you to the #StreamTeam for sending me these awesome candles for my mantle (see below):
I think I’m the only person who doesn’t watch this. I hear great things, though.
Nope, I’m there with you. Sounds good, lots of friends like it, just no time in the day to watch it.
OINTB is next on my Netflix watch list. It sounds like a great show, and everybody seems to be going bonkers over it.
This is bad to say but I already finished this season :-/! I was on the ball when it came out and binged it! HAHHA!
We are huge fans of Netflix at our house. We have actually considered cancelling our cable TV because we watch so much on Netflix. Each of our grandkids even have their own user accounts. 😉
I haven’t seen this show yet, but it’s on my list. Everyone I know talks about it all the time.
I like all of the characters’ back stories too. I wish this season hadn’t left us on such a cliffhanger!
My husband and I love this show! We are trying to catch up to the current season. It is so addicting to watch!
I already watched the entire season! Is that bad?
This is a great show. I have not had a chance to start season three yet but all my friends have been telling me all about it. I should start watching it tonight.
I have heard so much about this Netflix series. I will have to start watching it. I like a lot of the actors that are in it.
I just finished season three about an hour ago. It was fantastic. I can not wait until season four. I love that this season was a little more on the funny side.
I am not caught up on season 3 yet. This is such a great show though! I love how there are so many stories going on at once but it blends seamlessly!
I’ve watched season one and two but I haven’t caught up with this season. I’m looking forward to the comedy!
